E te rangatira, e te hoa, haere atu ra ki o taua tupuna, hoki wairua mai ki a matou e whai atu ana i muri i a koe

Such a loss and such a legacy, hopefully younger Maori will be inspired to walk in his foots steps and fight for our Independence again. So rare and so precious Syd never sold out or compromised his views and belief that struggle would free us.
Towards Liberation Syd you will never be forgotten.

Syd was an amazing man. I remember drinking coffee with him; a bear of a man in a bright poncho and turquoise necklace his mellifluous voice laughing and talking about life, whanau and his passions.
I found out yesterday he had finally lost his battle with cancer as I wasn't in Aotearoa when he died and couldn't attend his tangi. He was in my dreams last night.
It was an honour and a pleasure to have known such an honest man.

I had the great pleasure of working with Syd over the last 3 years, and enjoyed every minute of it, I also had the pleasure of getting to know his wife and some of his whanau.
I am going to miss the conversations over a cuppa that we use to have and his cheeky sence of humour.

It was a honour to have known him and to also work along side him.

Dad was a loving father, grandfather, brother and uncle. He absolutely adored his wife Deirdre and their love story lasted for nearly 30 years. Dad lived for Deirdre and I believe he survived as long as he did because of their love for each other and Deirdres' dedication, committment, support and belief in dad . Dads life was about being a family man and thats what he took most pride in. We know what he did with Nga tamatoa and the union etc but the man we knew and loved was so much more than that. Dads life was full of love, laughter,wonderful experiences and family and friends. Dad taught us many things but the key to all the learnings from dad was this - 'Family comes first - love, care and respect your family above all else'. I feel honored to have had such a wonderful father and I will miss him more than words can be expressed.
I pay this tribute to Deirdre for loving and caring for our father and giving him a wonderful 30 years. R
